If Lu Wanqing goes back to being a pampered young lady, she can also benefit from some of the wealth.

I don't ask for much, just enough to enjoy life.

Pretending to know nothing, he carefully taught Lu Wanqing as if she were an ordinary girl, thus creating a good impression.

Just when she thought that heaven would reward her, Lu Wanqing indeed remembered her and invited her to her home.

She would naturally agree to such a thing, after all, it was her first step into wealth and status.

To make a better impression, she spent a lot of money on dressing up.

But, as expected, that's what happened next.

Things turned out unexpectedly better than she had imagined.

Not only did I not see the luxurious villa I had imagined, but the building was also dilapidated and old, the kind of building that looked like it would collapse at any moment.

The living environment was cramped and small, making it difficult to even walk.

Forget about all of that.

What people are most concerned about are Lu Wanqing's parents.

A seemingly paralyzed and sickly man lay listlessly in bed, half-dead.

Another one was unable to work and had both legs broken.

The image depicts a wealthy socialite, a successful person, but none of the fantasies are present.

They were so destitute that they were worse off than beggars on the street.

This situation caused her mood to plummet, and she felt lost as well.

I thought I was entering a life of wealth and luxury, but I never expected to be a Cinderella.

Moreover, it's the dark version of Grimm's Fairy Tales, where there's no Prince Charming searching everywhere with a glass slipper.

It's the original Cinderella story.

I learned about Lu Wanqing's family situation.

Naturally, they wouldn't continue to put on a fake face and try to build a relationship with the other party.

She felt that not criticizing him to his face was already quite merciful.

Of course, that doesn't mean they won't talk about it.

At her workplace, everyone except Lu Wanqing knew about her family situation.

Mocking, sarcastic, pitiful—it was all there.

There was not a trace of goodwill.

However, today...

She sensed it.

From Luo Chen.

[...]

We had a simple meal.

Luo Chen walked onto the open-air balcony; the air outside was indeed much fresher than inside.

Although he didn't mind this environment, after all, he had experienced it in the real world before, and he didn't feel any resistance.

In addition, I understand the plot and am also aware of Lu Wanqing's family background.

We should sympathize with them, not mock them.

Glancing inside, Lu Wanqing was washing dishes in the kitchen.

Lu Ze, meanwhile, was pushing his wheelchair and searching for something.

With nothing to do, Luo Chen stood on the edge of the balcony, looking down at the view below.

"I have to say, the scenery here always gives you a feeling of being on top of the world."

Luo Chen sighed.

From here, the view is vast, offering a wide vista of scenery.

Look, there's a building not far across the street.

Old Wang next door was hanging by the window wearing only his underwear. With his improved physique, Luo Chen's vision was extremely clear.

It was clear that Old Wang looked terrified, afraid of being discovered.

Luo Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Are people playing so wildly these days?"

"They start doing this in broad daylight."

I glanced at the blinding sun overhead.

Luo Chen suddenly thought of a sentence.

You can't do things in the morning or at night, or something bad will happen sooner or later.

It seems that Old Wang next door understands this principle well, which is why he started causing trouble in the middle of the day.

What a talent...

Luo Chen watched with great interest. He was curious to know how long Old Wang next door could hold on. Judging from where he was hanging, it was only six stories high. If he couldn't hold on and fell from there, it shouldn't be a big problem, right?

At most, it will just turn into a pancake.

"Luo Chen, what are you looking at?"

"Hey, I'm watching Old Wang next door."

"Old Wang next door?"

Lu Ze pushed his wheelchair closer, puzzled, and his gaze fell on where Luo Chen was looking.

Luo Chen was taken aback, and his habit of subconsciously replying made him feel a little embarrassed.

I was so engrossed in what I was watching that I didn't notice Lu Ze coming over.

When you don't know how to respond.

But he discovered that Lu Ze was also watching with great interest, just like him.

"..."

Luo Chen was speechless.

Good grief, what happened to the person who was supposed to be a repressed...sexy guy?

I didn't expect you to like this kind of stuff. It doesn't fit your character in the book at all!

Does Lu Wanqing know?

In the book, Lu Ze is portrayed as an honest and simple person whose greatest interest is reading. He is also intelligent and excels at everything he does, except for a few exceptions.

When they first started dating, Lu Ze didn't understand what love was. He was just a clueless young man. If it weren't for his mother's pursuit, he would probably still be a lifelong single dog.

But now...

Luo Chen was speechless. Looking at Lu Ze with his hands on the edge of the balcony, sticking his head out and staring wide-eyed, he didn't know what to say.

This character's personality has collapsed. It turns out it's not just the female lead; even the other characters can do this?

"Luo Chen, look! Old Wang is about to give up!"

"What!"

Lu Ze's words made Luo Chen forget all about it, and his gaze immediately fell on Old Wang hanging by the window.

Old Wang was flushed, sweating profusely, and looked like he was about to collapse.

The two of them immediately tensed up.

"Luo Chen, how much longer do you think he can hold on?"

"I estimate it will take at most thirty seconds."

"That's unlikely. Judging from his appearance, he wouldn't last more than twenty seconds."

"Everyone has explosive power, Uncle. Look, it's six stories high down there. Wouldn't he turn into a pancake if he fell? Ten more seconds is his limit."

Lu Ze was immediately speechless. Thinking about it from another angle, if he were that neighbor Wang, the situation would probably be similar.

I'd rather keep going than fall and turn into a pancake.

"Oh no, her husband is here."

"Huh? Where?"

Lu Ze's eyesight wasn't as good as Luo Chen's, and he was also getting older, so even seeing the neighbor's old man was a bit blurry.

He naturally couldn't see the figure walking from the living room to the bedroom.

By the time he could see clearly, the other woman's husband had already opened the window.

He shared a deep, affectionate gaze with Old Wang next door.

"Are they saying something?"

Although it wasn't very clear, you could still tell that the two of them seemed to be communicating.

Luo Chen had excellent eyesight and also knew some lip reading, so he repeated the sentence.

Luo Chen looked at Lu Ze speechlessly.

“Old Wang next door told the other woman’s husband that he was a plumber.”

"..."

"The other party didn't believe him, and then Old Wang next door said that he really was a plumber, but there was too much water in the pipe, and it washed him out the window."

"..."

Lu Ze remained silent.

Luo Chen stopped translating.

Because Old Wang next door's words enraged the other woman's husband.

They dragged the other person into the bedroom and then started fighting.

The other party's wife, through lip reading, seemed to be saying something.
